game looks good on PS4. just imagine if it was exclusive. i really don't see why Kojima letting Xbox consoles have MGSV. Xbox fanboys get hyped when a MGS game gets announced for Xbox but don't even buy them.

Most games rely on budget not hardware. So yes maybe they could increase visuals but at cost of less models,sounds,content. Bigger budget = more employees = more content. I only have a ps4 and I can clearly see why someone would want to be multi. Too many benefits not really any negatives

You're not more entitled to a game because you own a specific console IMO. Playstation players, Xbox players, PC players, they're all gamers and I for one is happy that as many as possible will get to play this awesome game.

I'd say let the developers worry about sale numbers. They won't affect me or you. You can argue that the graphics could have been better but by saying that you're opening the gates for the PC players to start complaining. If there's anyone who's being held back in that regard, it's them.

Eh, you're untitled to your opinion of course. I'm just saying that personally if I had a friend with only an X1 I wouldn't say to him that he doesn't deserve to play MGS5 as much as I.

You don't know who did or didn't buy the game on MS systems, also this would be the first new MGS to actually release on a MS system.

Rising and the HD ports won't really get much fans on board as hell, as a PS owner and a HUGE MGS fan, I didn't even get Rising and got HD collection USED! Thus...it would show I actually purchased 1 MGS game on PS3 new.

Second.

MS fans don't know of the series, not that they hate it, merely they don't know of it enough to make a purchase of such a IP. The damn series GOES DEEEEEEP! You really have to know the universe to really get MGS.

MGS2 was the last MGS to release on a XB system during the same gen as a new release.

ie MGS3 skipped it, MGS4 skipped 360. The HD ports released afterwards. Thus, fans are sorta in the dark on the IP.

Those "fanboys" that are getting "hype" may have bought those games, you don't know everyone on earth, thus that comment is irrelevant and a generalization.

This game looks good, but its NOT next gen, thus was never going to be a PS4 exclusive as its not even a gen exclusive.

We could only wonder what it would look like only on PS4 as we will wonder what it will look like if it was next gen only.

Fox engine looks great, this game looks good, but we will get a true taste of the first next gen version of this game when MGSVI hits as this game is cross gen at best.

(mind you, this is coming from a HUGE MGS fan too)

XB owners will get MGS4 likely in a collection as MGS4 is not on 360 due to space limitations with Bluray (same reason why KH collection isn't on 360, yet KH III is coming to XONE).

XONE will get MGS4 so fans can see why everyone else is so hyped for MGSV!

Those sales are not a reflection of XB fanboys, merely a series that is not known to a core crowd of gamers due to not releasing many titles on those platforms.

Sorry bud, but one only needs to know of the MGS fame to know this is already GOTY in many minds.

Play MGS3, play MGS4, play Peace Walker.

You'll slowly understand why such a statement is very, very telling.

MGS3 is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time merely due to the openness. The idea that you have to survive, healing yourself, eating frogs, snakes, birds etc Getting sick, throwing up etc. The sure creativeness of the game is something to truly behold. You, for one of the rarest times in all of gaming...truly feel like the character you are playing.

You've healed him, you've taken bullets out of him, feed him, it really makes Big Boss THAT much of a badass when your doing all of this.

With MGSV.....add in the largest MGS ever created, day and night cycle, survival elements and you've by default just made the best MGS.

Mind you....this is based on MGS3 for me being one of the best games ever created.

My expectations for The Phantom Pain are through the roof. This is perhaps the only game I can look at and honestly say it may outdo Snake Eater as my favorite game of all time (mind you, I've cleared Snake Eater on PS2 31 times and I'm in Groznyj Grad on my current playthrough that I haven't touched in a while because I have the PS3 and Vita versions--no shame, I REALLY love this game). I'm a pretty thorough Metal Gear head who bothered getting the Big Boss and Fox rankings for every game, so it's pretty hard to contain my excitement for this game add I'm itching to do the same here.

...But I will. I don't think I can bring myself to watch any more trailers or read any news that doesn't include a release date. The anticipation is getting furious. I'll definitely do another series run very soon.

Just another big game release for 2015! My PS4 will be almost certainly be my main console next year, if just this and Batman and Uncharted come out next year I will be happy but there's so many other good looking games out in 2015!

Hopefully it's more like MGS3 than Peace Walker. Too much maintenance and micro-management in that one for a man. MGS3 is a masterpiece and a man's second favorite game of all time. That in Fox engine 60fps with more refined shooting=masterpiece.

In MGS4 Otacon says he didn't create Octocamo but they stole the idea from someone else which is why Laughing Octopus had it as well... It could have existed a while before.

Haven't heard anything about camo in MGS5 but there are many more ways to actually hide now so it may not be that relevant. IT works in MGS3 because its in a jungle, MGS5 is not so camo wouldn't be as relevant. Instead there seems to be more ways to actually hide and lure / distract guards. Which I actually like.

It will likely have camo like in MGS3 as Peace Walker allows you to change outfits, I see this game putting in the camo option.

It won't have the fancy Octocamo that was in MGS4 as that was way, way too advance.

Think MGS3.

@NBT91

Where they are at has jungles, you still needed camo even in none jungle settings in MGS3. I see it returning in MGSV as it sort a existed in MGS since MGS3. I see not much reason to not add it in MGSV as it has shown snake is wearing many different uniforms.

This game looks like one not to miss but I was never able to play the others. Is there any way someone can link a story summary for this noob? I realize it's a huge story, I'd just really like to become acquainted with it before I even try to play Ground Zeros or Phantom Pain.

https://www.youtube.com/wat... Watch "MGS Movie" of the games in youtube (MGS1-4 + Peace Walker), starting from MGS1. There's few other games too, but imo you'll do fine by watching these to catch up with MGSV story and characters.

Anyway they contain all the boss fights, some gameplay, cutscenes and other story related stuff.

It's a good alternative if can't play the earlier games :), sit back and enjoy.
